I think some polymerization is a distinct possibility.  I'd be most
concerned if it occurred in clumps -- making a smooth application tough.

I'm wondering if we ought to stir the mix very well when first purchased and
pour it into several smaller bottles.  The 4 oz./ 110 ml. ink bottles come
to mind as possible candidates.
